Mamoul and Pistachio Harissa
I've always thought of harissa as a spicy, red pepper paste. So I was surprised to come across a "premium harissa pistachio" this Ramadan in the supermarket sweets section. It was certainly sweet as was the walnut mamoul we bought with it. I just read that Syrian pistachio harissa is one of the most famous sweets in the Arab region. It's typically made with semolina, sugar, milk and coconut and is similar to basbousa . Not a big fan of mamoul. A little too dry for my taste.
